Cake Mixes from Scratch and Variations

Reviewed: Dec. 17, 2009

oh man, LUSH! I used oil instead of shortening (without converting g to ml), a shot of rum and a squirt lemonjuice; I put all the "wet" ingredients together and quirled them and in another bowl sifted all the dry ingredients together - combine, mix and mine had to stay in the oven a little longer than 30mins ...crunchy outside but FLUFFY inside. I cut the crunchy top off of this one (still got eaten on the side) and spread apricot jam on the soft top, banana slices, a little chocolatey stuff, banana slices and cover with rest of chocolatey stuff.. quite sweet. delicious though :)

Plum Dumplings

Reviewed: Sep. 3, 2009

This is so amazing it convinced me to finally sign up to this site, mostly just to say how amazing it was! :) i made some minor changes and a mistake somewhere- i used only half of everything (i was just looking for something to use the plums my gran couldnt finish, jst a few) so, instead of using 1andahalf egg yolks, i used 2; added a little vanilla sugar to the flour mix and a half tsp lemonjuice to the sugar in each plum; for some reason the dough behaved more like crumble so i added a little milk and eggwhite and it was all good. we usually just make these from frozen, here in vienna, but its expensive, they're experts here, and i didnt think theyd be as good but they were, and better!! :D
